At the same time, the general public is also advised to stay at home if they have symptoms of COVID-19.
"In general, a lot of people are sick right now. Anyone who feels unwell, gets a runny nose or gets a fever, should stay home from work for a few days until they feel better, writes Region Östergötland in a press release.
"It's important not to forget loneliness"
The Kvarnbacken nursing home in Linköping has already taken several measures to prevent anyone from becoming infected with COVID-19.
But operations manager Simon Zeitelberg has a clear lesson from the pandemic, which he thinks is important to keep in mind when trying to stop the spread of infection.
